| Never Wrong
- Side Streets
Christopher
Williams |
I don't know how I got here lost on this back road
But I can't
find my way and I can't get back home
Nobody knows directions
though they've lived here all their lives
So all I can do is drive,
drive, drive
Chorus
Oh...am I lost soul
Do you watch me as I go
Is there something I don't
know
Oh...am I right where I
belong
Maybe these mistakes are
never wrong
The old man said go left the
trucker said go right
But I am past the point of
caring where I end up tonight
The people that I pass all
look the same to me
They're all driving but
they're not behind the wheel
Chorus
I’d rather not know where
I’m going
And trust that you will show
the way

Yeah baby, I've been
drinking,
and I shouldn't come by I know
But I found myself in trouble darling,
and I had nowhere else to go
Got some whiskey from a bar man,
got some cocaine from a friend
I just had to keep on moving,
till I was back in your arms again
Well I'm guilty, yeah I'm guilty,
I'll be guilty for the rest of my life
How come I never do,
what I'm supposed to do
How come nothing that I try to do ever turns out right
Well you know how it is with me baby,
you know I just can't stand myself
It takes a whole lot of medicine,
for me to pretend to be somebody else |

End of
the World -
Spin Art
Venice |
Losing faith and
it makes me sad
And when I think of losing more
Well it makes me mad
Losing beauty well it brings me down
And with everything we've gained well we're losing ground
Every time I turn another corner
Seems that someone else is doing wrong
And every time I jump into the water
Seems there's something there that don't belong
When it feels like the end of
the world my dear
I need you here
When it feels like the end of the world my love
Will you help me rise, rise above
No more father, no more son
No more running from the man that I've become
Too much freedom but nothing's free
So I try to make some sense of what's to be
'Cause every day I wake up and
I wonder
How a blessing could become a curse
And every night I pray it's getting better
But I find it's only getting worse
(Chorus)
(Refrain)

| Lost -
Peter Searcy
(Keep Your Distance Soundtrack) |
I heard a sad, sad
story about you, and how you lost your way.
Now you lost everything, I don't know what to say.
But it is a sad, sad situation, it comes a no surprise, from down where
you are I hope that you survive.
You have been lost for a long, long time.
When you come back around please
tell me, I'll be there waiting.
When you come back around please tell me, I'll be there waiting.
When you come back around please tell me, I'll be there waiting for you.
I'll be there waiting for you when you come back to.
And it is a bad, bad hand you've
been dealt, from my heart I've always felt you never knew just how loved
you were.
It's a hole inside you try to try to fill with alcohol, cocaine and
pills, it keeps getting deeper and deeper.
You've been lost for such a long, long time.
When you come back around please
tell me, I'll be there waiting.
When you come back around please tell me, I'll be there waiting.
When you come back around please tell me, I'll be there waiting for you.
I'll be there waiting for you when you come back to. |

Surfacing
Sarah McLachlan |
unravel me
a distant cord
on the outside is forgotten
a constant need
to get along
and the animal awakens
and all I feel is black and white
the road is long
the memory slides
to the whole of my undoing
put aside
I put away
I push it back to get through each day
and all I feel is black and white
and I'm wound up small and tight
and I don't know who I am
everybody loves you when you're easy
everybody hates when you're a bore
everyone is waiting for your entrance so
don't disappoint them
unravel me
untie this chord
the very centre of our union
is caving in
I can't endure
I am the archive of our failure
and all I feel is black and white
and I'm wound up small and tight
and I don't know who I am
everybody loves you when you're easy
everybody hates when you're a bore
everyone is waiting for your entrance so
don't disappoint them
everybody loves you when you're easy so
don't disappoint them
don't disappoint them ... |

| These
Days - Side Streets

Williams |
Without confusion clarity
brings nothing
Without questioning answers
won’t bring truth
Without death life to its
fullest will be lost like the innocence of youth
Without solitude community
can do nothing
Without knowing ourselves we
cannot truly give
Without finding that place
so lonely our actions will be as empty as the lives we live
Chorus
Step inside my heart but
walk gently
I know you’ve come a long
way
Step inside my heart cause
we need to be together
If we’re going to make it
through these days
Without silence words lose
their meaning
Without listening speaking
cannot heal
Without reaching out towards
one another
We’ll lose ourselves in what
only we think we feel
Chorus
Without faith believing is
foolish without doubt we cannot grow
Without time patience is
useless and anger will only make itself more known

| Angel -
Surfacing
Sarah McLachlan |
Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day
I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
so tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack
it don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe in this sweet madness oh
this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees
in the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear
you are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here |

When I Was Everything
Christopher Williams |
I watch you breathe in deep
With each breath you draw in you are
that much closer to sleep
Falling through the window the light moves
across the bed
Comfort is here but it’s truth you need instead
Chorus
You want to touch you want to feel
To be saved by something
real
Salvation comes when you shed your skin
And let me in
Layer by
layer you peel away
Deeper and deeper to where your colors fade
The
closer I get to you the more you hide that space
Just after the
laughter and before the grace
Chorus
What is this that you’re hiding
that you’ve never spoken of
Don’t be afraid to let it out and breathe
in my love
Chorus

When Your Ship Comes In
-
Pacific Standard Time
Venice |
I know that look,
I've seen that face
I can tell you're in that place again
Where all that you've been longing for
Is drifting off, you feel you just can't win
But if you can hear me I hope you can
see
This isn't how it will be
When your ship comes in
And the fog has finally lifted
You'll be ready
When your ship comes in
It seems to me the hands of fate
Without a rhyme or reason shape our lives
So all that you can do is make
The best of every day as it arrives
And until you find what you've
been longing for
Just keep an eye on the shore

Regarding the Soul
Dee Carstensen |
Tonight you are
a thousand miles wide to me
touch me now, and I am yours
I recognize, in every cry I’m a witness to
sanctity, let me be yours
spirits come and leave their mystery
desert sun shall pierce eternity
I am breathing
I am breathing
your breath
my heart is pounding for you
I breathe you in and let you go
you are the sweetest love I know
the sweetest love
I breathe you in and I let you out
you are my light
I can’t live without
your sweet, sweet love
I breathe you in and let you go
you are the sweetest love I know
the sweetest love
(let my love play on)
I breathe you in and let you out
you are my light , I can’t live without
your sweet, sweet love
(let my love play on)
I breathe you in and let you go
you are the sweetest love I know
the sweetest love
(let my love play on)

| Full of Grace -
Surfacing
Sarah McLachlan |
the winter here's cold, and bitter
it's chilled us to the bone
we haven't seen the sun for weeks
to long too far from home
I feel just like I'm sinking
and I claw for solid ground
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
oh darkness I feel like letting go
if all of the strength and all of the courage
come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
full of grace
full of grace
my love
so it's better this way, I said
having seen this place before
where everything we said and did
hurts us all the more
its just that we stayed, too long
in the same old sickly skin
I'm pulled down by the undertow
I never thought I could feel so low
oh darkness I feel like letting go
if all of the strength
and all of the courage
come and lift me from this place
I know I could love you much better than this
full of grace
full of grace
my love |

When I Was Everything
Christopher Williams |
When your eyes grow weak with sorrow from all the wreckage they’ve
seen
When you flood your bed with the tears you’ve shed crying out for
mercy
When the skies turn silent and your voice is all you hear
When
those words fall short of how you feel know that I am near
Chorus
I
Am Here
I Am Here
When night crawls towards the mourning for every
soul still found awake
When that moment stretches a lifetime it’s not
for you to carry this weight
No you were not meant to carry this
weight cause

Alive
Again -
Pacific Standard Time
Venice |
I have to tell you
You blow me away
I've never loved you
More than today
The music you're making
The way that you glow
It's all too amazing
I thought you should know
Whoa Yeah, you shed your skin
Whoa Back from where you've been
Whoa Got your second wind
Whoa Alive again
The odds were against you
You turned it around
And somehow you landed
On solid ground
Yeah, you fixed what was broken
Your smile and your pride
You've got so much to offer
And nothing to hide
CHORUS
We thought for sure we'd lost you
After you lost yourself
But then you let us save you
Now you're saving someone else

| Speak Into Me
- When I Was Everything
Christopher
Williams |
You opened the door enough
to pass through
As the darkness was pushed
to the corners of the room
By your precious light and
one simple tune
And my silent prayer that
you will…speak into me…speak into me
There’s no need for words
you simply let me in
Like a wayward son given the
chance to begin again
By the gifts you give and
the way that you lead
And how you breathe life as
you…speak into me…speak into me
Shed light on all you see
All that I fight, my fears
and my pride
Show them to me…as I fall to
my knees
I long to stay here in this
quiet place
Resting in your sweet
embrace
To feel your breath as you
whisper my name
Amidst the promises
you…speak into me…speak into me

The
Family Tree -
Spin Art
Venice |
Branches in the
wind
Still standing here together
One more storm to weather
We'll get through it yet
So we're gathered here
Holding on to each other
To let go of another one we won't forget
Now as we say goodbye
To one of our own
We may be lonely
But we're not alone
Though the leaves will fall
And the tears will flow
May it always comfort us to know
The family tree will always grow
Father down to son, mother to
daughter
Thicker than water, we are made of this
From the Earth we rise
To the Earth returning
We'll keep a candle burning
For the ones we'll miss |
And when we say goodbye
To one of our own
We may be lonely
But we're not alone
Though the leaves will fall
And the tears will flow
May it always comfort us to know
The family tree will always grow
It's stronger than the wind can blow
The family tree will always grow

Pebble
in a Pond (Karma's Rewarded) -
Pacific Standard Time
Venice |
I am here to
make it clear
And sing for you this song
To realize the worth of what you've done
The ripples in the lives that you have changed
Go on and on
Just like you threw a pebble in a pond
Karma's rewarded, Karma's
rewarded
That's what they say
You hear it every day
People talking that way
And if it it might be, however likely
Then I can hope it's true
Wouldn't that be cool
For people like you?
Now knowing you the way I do
You'll probably play this down
And minimize the worth of what you've done
Well, that's alright but deep inside
Please let yourself be proud
That you threw a pebble in a pond
CHORUS
A kindness here, a gesture
there
A call from out of nowhere
Funny how the simplest of things
Can start to grow and domino
Just one can cause the rest to go
It can even change a pauper to a king
So I am here to make it clear
And sing for you this song
To realize the worth of what you've done
'Cause the ripples in the lives that you have changed
Go on and on
Just like you threw a pebble in a pond
CHORUS
